Weight Lifting Shoes aren't cutting it. Saw my physical therapist today and he got me on a 2x4. I didn't think it was a good idea so I avoided it, but it is working great.
I had mostly reached my strength goal but found it painful and unsustainable. Now I'm working with some better equipment on ankle flexability, which seems to be the root cause of most of my problems.
I'm to use the 2x4 until I'm improved enough for the shoes, and then eventually I may be able to go down to thinner plates or nothing. I'd be happy with just the shoes right now.
Restating my workout plan, with higher reps and lighter weight, doing the exercises I like, with the new equipment.
